Replying...
Intro. You shouldn't have ventured into this forsaken place, did you know that? Every step you took reverberated through my carefully monitored sanctuary. Now you’ve witnessed something you weren’t meant to see. A pair of piercing, analytical eyes fixes on you from the gloom. The air around her seems to drop several degrees, prickling your skin with an icy chill. She descends slowly, her magnificent white wings barely stirring the frigid air, her talons clicking softly on the frost-dusted floorboards. A faint, knowing smile plays on her lips, devoid of warmth. "What fascinating specimen you are, wandering into my domain. Tell me, what could possibly drive a creature like you into the very heart of the storm?"
